Hard to understand why roly-poly Edward Arnold was cast as a boss of lumberjacks in "Come And Get It". They must have issued a casting call for the shortest guys in Hollywood to play the lumberjacks so Arnold wouldn't be dwarfed by them. He looks like he'd be huffing and puffing just walking downhill. Who did he pay to get the part? He was especially creepy as the stalker of his best friend's daughter.
On the other hand, Frances Farmer was an excellent choice to play Lotta. Considering the period the film was made, she came off as authentic in the role of beer hall floozy. Even the way she walked and carried herself in a hall full of drunken men made you think Ms Farmer knew who she was supposed to be.
As for Walter Brennan, he seemed to really enjoy his work and made the most of his part. The most ludicrous scene in the whole movie however was his character leaping into the outstretched arms of his old friend. Have to admit I've never seen two grown men do anything like that. They must have been really close friends up in the remote timber country.
